Apparently the supplement to be taking is Vitamin D. I’m not one to make lifestyle changes based on one study or two. But if we really do see results like this published this summer I may just order up some Vitamin D. According to FuturePundit, “A study coming out in June will report a more than halving of the incidence of cancer by taking vitamin D supplements.”
But perhaps the biggest bombshell about vitamin D’s effects is about to go off. In June, U.S. researchers will announce the first direct link between cancer prevention and the sunshine vitamin. Their results are nothing short of astounding.
A four-year clinical trial involving 1,200 women found those taking the vitamin had about a 60-per-cent reduction in cancer incidence, compared with those who didn’t take it, a drop so large — twice the impact on cancer attributed to smoking — it almost looks like a typographical error.
Be prepared to jettison all that advice about avoiding sunshine to prevent cancer.
